I-680 widening aims to improve traffic

Original post made
on Apr 1, 2013

I-680 will be widened approximately 12 feet in along the shoulder area in both northbound and southbound directions between Sycamore Valley Road and Crow Canyon Road. Lanes will be shifted to the median and the roadway restriped so that work can take place on the shoulder behind K-rail concrete barriers.

Who in the world plans these projects? Now they are tearing up the road again to broaden it? They couldn't have thought ahead and done this when the repaved? Who is in charge of our street boondoggles?

So sad to see all the tree taken down. Such an increase in the noise. :( I'm sure that the new landscaping will be very small trees. I'm sure that it will be another 10 years until the tree become as tall as they were. It will be terrible to try to sleep with all the extre noise on the summer nights when we would normally have windows open. Why has it taken sooo link to complete this project? And I agree why couldn't it have been done with the repaving project. Bad planning!
